Tell students to work in small groups . Each group choose a different tour to design from p 32 .and ask them to decide on the following things: * How long the tour will be ,and how many days will be spent in each place. *The best way to travel from one place to another. ** The main things to see in each place and why they are interesting. Give them time to plan how to describe their tour and use the map to explain their tour . I'll monitor them and help them with hard words to keep going the task.
I'll exchange one of each group to explain his group tour to another group,then I tell them to describe the tour of the other group ,and decided which one is most interesting.I'll help them to correct their own mistake by giving them a chance to think again.
